SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

VARIABLES

GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT

The author of a piece of code.

GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT

The person who put a piece of code into Git.

GIT_EDITOR

Text editor for use by Git commands. The value is meant to be
interpreted by the shell when it is used. Examples: ~/bin/vi,
$SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE, "C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe"
--nofork. The order of preference is the $GIT_EDITOR
environment variable, then core.editor configuration, then
$VISUAL, then $EDITOR, and then the default chosen at compile
time, which is usually vi.

GIT_PAGER

Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., less). The value
is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference
is the $GIT_PAGER environment variable, then core.pager
configuration, then $PAGER, and then the default chosen at
compile time (usually less).
